We&#8217;ll enjoy Chinese cr\u00eapes, juicy dumplings, tasty noodle dishes, yummy dim sum, and distinctive snacks from the savory to the sweet. And as if that weren\u2019t enough, we\u2019ll finish with some amazingly rich Asian influenced American ice cream! If you\u2019re into cooking, we can also check out JMart, a sprawling Asian supermarket. All this within four blocks!<\/p>\n<p>Some photos from past visits:<br \/>\n<em>(Click on any image to view it in high resolution.)<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_6409.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_6409.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\"  class=\"alignnone  wp-image-7244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_6409.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_6409-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_6409-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_6409-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_6409-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1508.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1508.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1508.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1508-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1508-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1508-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1508-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_7752-L-edited-1440-square.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_7752-L-edited-1440-square.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\"  class=\"alignnone wp-image-19341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_7752-L-edited-1440-square.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_7752-L-edited-1440-square-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_7752-L-edited-1440-square-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_7752-L-edited-1440-square-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_7752-L-edited-1440-square-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1148.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1148.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1148.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1148-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1148-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1148-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1148-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1144.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1144.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1144.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1144-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1144-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1144-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1144-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1105.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1105.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1105.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1105-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1105-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1105-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_1105-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/a><strong><em>Details:<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThe cost of any tour is $95 per person (cash only, please) and includes a veritable cornucopia of food so bring your appetite: you won\u2019t leave hungry, and you will leave happy!
